Get Your Om On

Find your true center in Santa Barbara .

Sure, the town is known for its active, outdoors lifestyle and sun-drenched recreational opportunities, but don’t forget its cutting-edge wellness centers. There are an abundance of yoga and Pilates studios where you can reach a pure state of bliss (most take drop-ins) and plenty of neat natural settings to try out what you’ve learned.

Brush up on basics like downward dog at casual day-use spots like Yoga Soup or try the elegant spa of the Bacara Resort (you need not be a resort guest to book spa services).

Then go your own way and let the breeze cool you while you hold a perfect warrior pose in the town's Zen-like botanical gardens.
